What makes you feel guilty the most?

My son has been unwell since yesterday and this morning, he woke up at 8.00 AM. I was frustrated to the core because on other days, he doesn’t wake up before 9.30 AM. On most of the weekends, I just enjoy my me-time and start with my breakfast preparation by 9.00 AM. Then his cranky behavior started and it continued till 11.00 AM. My energy for the day was already drained.

Writing here with the fear of being judged!!

Sounds really selfish, I know. I am actually guilty of this, but I end up doing this every weekend. I hate days when my mother-in-law wants me to do something over the weekend. I look forward to this weekend.

How did you cope when someone you love, dealing with hyper-independence and trauma, felt they needed space to heal alone? Were you able to support them without overstepping, and did you eventually reconnect? How did that journey unfold?

It’s not only my son. On weekends, my mother calls me at 9.00 AM so that we can have a good talk for at least 15–20 minutes. On weekdays, I am busy with my routine responsibilities so we talk for hardly 10 minutes. But on weekends when I am too tired and just want some more time for self, I don’t take her call or I ask her to call her later.

This morning, I woke up 7 AM so that I can have some time for myself. I exercise, read, create some content, and just sit with coffee. I may be tired enough during weekdays to wake up, but I look forward to weekends for this me time.

Yes, I am guilty of this behavior. Why am I avoiding my loved ones to sit alone and do nothing great? I am guilty and helpless. This is kind of my guilt, but I need this to drive through the week.

Why are Republicans so afraid of a strong leader like Vice President Kamala Harris? Are they worried if she becomes President she will make them look stupid?
